Google Chrome is the most widely used web browser in the world. Users enjoy its fast loading speed, cross-device integration, and tabbed browsing. Google Chrome does not come installed as a standard on new Macs or PCs. Their native web browsers (Safari and Microsoft Edge, respectively) are automatically installed, forcing users to install Chrome themselves.

Seamless internet navigation

Chrome is an ideal browser to enjoy easy, coordinated online browsing across various devices.

Whether you have a new Mac or an older one, Google Chrome sets the bar high for web browsers. You want a browser that is safe, easy to use, syncs data and content across all your devices, and operates quickly. Google Chrome is the solution that over 63% of the world turns to and with good reason. Mac users have distinguished taste and as such, expect high quality in their hardware and software products. Google Chrome delivers this to Mac users with its low CPU usage, reliability, and overall browsing experience. It delivers a high-quality browsing experience to Mac users with its low CPU usage, reliability, tabbed browsing, cross-device syncing, and lighting fast loading speed.
Google Chrome for Mac has a laundry list of features, earning its spot as the top web browser of choice for both Mac and PC users. It offers thousands of extensions, available through the Chrome web store, providing Mac owners with even more functionality. Adobe Flash is also available when you install Chrome on your Mac. The overall appearance is professional and clean. Enjoy customized browser preferences including your homepage of choice, sync and Google services, Chrome name and picture, importing bookmarks and settings, autofill capabilities (passwords, payments, addresses, etc.), toolbars, font, page zoom, and startup settings. Chrome’s user interface is incredibly easy to navigate. Multi-tasking just got easier with tabbed browsing, which not only helps productivity, but looks clean and organized. Since Chrome can be downloaded on all of your devices (computers, phones, tablets), if you open a browser or perform a search on one device, Chrome will auto-sync that work stream on your other devices. If you look up a dinner recipe at work on your Mac but need the ingredient list at the grocery store? No problem - pull up the same tab within Chrome on your iPhone. Once you are home and ready to start cooking, just pull up the same Chrome recipe tab on your tablet. With the world moving faster than ever before, functionality like this can help make life a little easier.
Chrome’s password, contact information, and payment autofill capabilities are revolutionizing users’ online experience. Upon your consent, Chrome’s autofill feature will easily fill out your name, address, phone number, email address, passwords, and payment information. If it’s time to register your child for the soccer season but your wallet is downstairs, Google Chrome has your back, helping you easily fill in the data, so you can stay in your comfy chair. Chrome will only sync this data on your approved devices, so you can rest easy that your information is safe. CPU usage is immensely important when choosing a web browser. Keep your Mac’s CPU free by browsing with Google Chrome, maximizing overall system performance. Chrome for Mac is currently available in 47 languages. It can only be installed on Intel Macs, currently limiting its userbase. Mac users can manage how their browsing history is used to personalize search, ads, and more by navigating to their 'Sync Settings' within Chrome. Encryption options, auto-completion of searches and URLs, similar page suggestions, safe browsing, and enhanced spell check are also available within the settings tab, helping users feel more in control of their browsing experience. Users also have the option to 'help improve Chrome' by automatically sending usage statistics, crash reports, visited URLs, and system information to Google, or can easily opt out within Chrome’s settings.

Where can you run this program?

Google Chrome is available on MacOS X Yosemite 10.10 or later, Windows 7 or later, Android, and iOS devices. Chrome may successfully install on devices with lesser system requirements; however, Google only provides support on a system meeting the minimum system requirements.

Is there a better alternative?

For Mac users, Safari is the standard out-of-the-box browser installed on new devices. Most users prefer a web browser with better functionality than Safari. Chrome is harder on a Mac’s battery life than Apple’s native Safari browser. However, Chrome comes out ahead of Safari in terms of browsing speed, extensions, and video loading capabilities. Safari does have many of Chrome’s features such as tab syncing across devices and auto-filling based on previous searches. Mozilla Firefox is another commonly used web browser among Mac users, though its memory usage knocks it down on the list of competitors. The main draw to Mozilla Firefox over Chrome is that because Firefox is open source, nothing fishy is going on behind the scenes. Google is notorious for capturing and using data which rightfully makes people uncomfortable.

Our take

Mac users tend to do things their own way. You’ve opted for the non-mainstream computer hardware, so using the native installed Safari browser seems in character. Safari’s minimalist look draws Mac users in as well. Google Chrome is much more 'going along with the crowd'. Putting that aside, Mac owners should dig into what they really use their web browsers for, and determine if data privacy or features is more important to them. Better yet, why not have two browsers?

Should you download it?

Yes. For Mac users, Google Chrome’s quick speed and helpful features makes it an excellent web browser choice. Google’s controversial collection of personal and usage data is sure to make some pause on whether to install Chrome or not. However, if you are comfortable or indifferent to Google’s data collection, go for it; the browser's overall functionality is impressive.

A free (for personal use) browser extension called 'IE Tab' can be added to Chrome or to Firefox in Windows to allow Internet Explorer components to support displaying and running web pages in a tab insideChrome or Firefox. This enables you to display web pages that use Microsoft Silverlight (such as CTI Navigator Web), Microsoft Sharepoint or ActiveX controls within your Chrome or Firefox browser, even if the browser itself does not correctly load Silverlight or ActiveX Controls. The IE Tab also includes an 'Auto URL' site filter that allows you to specify which web addresses should always be opened in an IE Tab in the browser. For optimal convenience, set IE Tab to always open your MLS website for CTI Navigator Web in Chrome or Firefox.

Ie tab for explorer

Although it does not open the IE browser per se, IE Tab uses the IE browser control core 'rendering engine' built into Windows to support core IE functions within other browsers. Therefore, to ensure full security when using IE Tab, the latest version of Internet Explorer should be installed in Windows on your computer and it should be kept up-to-date with the latest security patches from Microsoft. (Automatic Windows updates usually include updates to Internet Explorer since the IE control core is an integral component of Internet connectivity in Windows.)

Both of the original 'IE Tab' extensions are very highly rated by users. IE Tab is rated 4.5 stars (out of 5) by over 3 million Chrome users and has been a 'Top 10' extension since 2009.Beware that other IE Tab emulators may include adware, spyware, or malware.

If Silverlight fails to load, crashes frequently or fails to properly display or print from all CTI Navigator Web pages in Chrome or Firefox in Windows, install one of these IE Tab extensions appropriate for your browser, and activate the IE Tab extension when running CTI Navigator Web. Currently there is no IE Tab for any Mac browser.

To print reports from CTI Navigator II in Firefox, either print using Firefox's PDF viewer (recommended), or install and run IE Tab 2 in your Firefox.
